I'd like to propose the addition of a special marker on dragons that have been unaltered since their hatching. Nothing big - maybe just another icon along the bottom, where the gender, element, "unable to breed", etc. icons are. All dragons come with it. If you apply a gene scroll, scatterscroll, eye vial, what have you - it's gone. That's all. Just a little extra value for those who get an especially pretty dragon right out of the box, as it were.

No support because this would easily be used as a symbol of elitism, no matter how altruistic its intentions may be.

a) This is very similar to the various suggestions that were made by people whose dragons lost ‘value’ in Eyepocalypse II. You can probably find the arguments. Please let’s not start all that again.
b) Even if it were a good idea, how would that work for old dragons, who don’t have that info recorded? I have several dragons who were ‘especially pretty’ right out of the box, but because they’re old I woldn’t get the special marker?

No support for that way you describe it, because I would never want to change any dragons and lose the icon because you never know, OR I’d always want to change them to make the icon go away.
Anyway, naturally-hatched primals still is a cool fun fact to brag about, but you can put that in the dragon bio. No comment about Eyepocalypse II
I wish changes were officially logged the same way I wish AH history was never deleted, because I get really disorganised and lose things, but it’s too late now

even disregarding this and other valid arguments, it's just so unnecessary to add an icon onto dragon pages that doesn't really indicate a cosmetic or functional purpose.

This is the problem I have with this. Otherwise, I'm cool with it. I think it would be fun/interesting. I would like to see what this kind of thing would do in comparison to the G1 market, because they are mutually exclusive in a way. At least among so called "complete" dragons.

I'm with the others; no matter what the original intentions are, this would invariably lead to elitism, much like dragons with high like counts already do in select circles. Since we can turn off the like counts from our own viewing experience, those stats only matter to users who opt to look at them, and therefore don't affect the whole site.
An indicator on a dragon can't be turned off, unless they redo the code for that part of the site. Everyone would see it, and it would undeniably affect how dragons are perceived.

We really don’t need more markers, especially one that would essentially be on the majority of dragons (very few dragons get altered unless there is something special about them) thus it would just be cluttering things up.
In cases of special eyes some players would attempt to use it as a form of elitism

Yeah, this would mostly get used for elitism. I think if you want to display this info, you can have a screenshot of the dragon hatching in its bio.
